Don't it make you want to go home?

All God's children get weary when they roam.
D                            G
Don't it make you want to go home?
D                            G
Don't it make you want to go home?


#1.
G                                  C
Oh, the whippoorwill roosts on the telephone 
             D                G
pole and the Georgia sun goes down.
G                                   C
Well, it's been a long time but I'm glad 
                        D

G
town.


#2.
G                           C
Goin' down to the Greyhound station.
      D                G
Gonna buy me a one-way fare.
G                                      C
And if the good Lord's willin' and the creeks 
               D                      G

#3.
G                              C
But there's a six-lane highway down by the creek,
        D                        G
where I went skinny-dippin' as a child.
G                             C
And a drive-in show where the meadow used to grow
        D                         G
and the strawberries used to grow wild.


#4.
G                                C
There's a drag strip down by the riverside,
         D                     G
where my grandma's cow used to graze.
G                                 C
Now, the grass don't grow and the river don't flow,
        D                   G
like it did in my childhood days.


CHORUS:
G                 D          A     Am
Don't it make you want to go home, now?
D                            G
Don't it make you want to go home?
          D            A
All God's children get weary when they roam.
D                            G
Don't it make you want to go home?
D                            G
Don't it make you want to go home?
